version 1.0X.01 In the invasion screen the numbers will disappear and reappear, e.g. 1x00 where x is the missing number. This happens to the numeric listings for both the attacker and the defender. In the ship creation screen (where it shows your existing ship types) there are missing characters in the names/titles of the ships. I have also noticed missing characters/numbers in several other places, but these two a

Quick question: With all the changes, near term and in the future, where will the changes be documented? I hope there will be some central repository that documents all the updates. I think that a living, evolving electronic manual would be great, but too much to ask for. Thanks for making such a great game and for the unprecidented level of commitment and support!

Okay, so maybe I didn't read the manual closely enough, but farming does not produce population, it just raises the population cap for a given planet, right? So, what are the driving forces to increase population, morale? Also, if you don't need population to have production (just the money from taxes to pay for it) why am I building all these darned farms on tiles that could be used for research or production? AHH!!! I

Is it just me or does the "Watch" function not work? I keep looking for notification options and I can't find any. I would like to receive an email when someone posts to the topics I am "watching". Is this possible?

My system would ALWAYS crash at the loading screen until I turned anti-aliasing to 0. Since then I have only had one crash. And by crash, I mean hard crash, as in power the PC off and back on. I have an Old T-bird 1GHz system with a Radeon 9700Pro and I have had cooling issues with it before (specifically, the FEAR demo) , but never expected to have heat issues with a TBS game. I would load the diagnostic tool, but have

@Citizen Stuie_acs Yeah, but if you don't know the pre-requisites for one of the required techs, you're out of luck. Hence the value of the fold-out tech tree that comes w/ the collector's edition!

[quoteUser created data files and preferences are in the %mydocuments\my games\galciv2 folder Ugh. How do I change this? I don't want game data files on my system drive where they'll clog up my system and probably get lost the next time Windows needs reinstalling. Whatever happened to the good old days of applications keeping their crud to themselves?!] I wouldn't have put it exactly that way, but I agree with thi

I am having a VERY serious problem running this game. I can view the tutorials and get through the initial game setup, but before the "loading" screen goes away my system hard locks to the point that my monitor looses signal and I have to power my PC off. When I get rebooted the system runs a file check on the C: drive (not good). My drivers are not the very latest, but I can run DirectX 9.0C games. Here's the debug inf

I wish that the new journal entry had been posted before I canceled my EB Games pre-order. Oh, well! Someone from Stardock please have pity on a poor, impatient soul!!! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/SadAngry.gif"

Well, I already cancelled my local EB Games pre-order and downloaded. When I talked to the guy at the store (who is usually pretty knowledgeable) he indicated that it could be a few days. So, I cancelled and setup a CD order from Stardock. I guess I am completely out of luck all the way around! I just CAN'T win.

I too have cancelled my EB Games (local store) pre-order so I could download the game in order to have it today. My local EB didn't know when it would be in (after they promised the 22nd last week). Is there any way to get the pre-order goodies? I can scan my pre-order receipt if necessary. If not, it looks like I'll

I am curious about the criteria the AI uses to determine which race to surrender to. I would think that it would choose the race with whixh it has the best relations, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Thanks for the great journal entry. The more I read about this game the more exited I get. P.S. I am also glad I didn't follow the deveopment of this game closely, as every other game that I did wound up being utter crap, e.g. MoO3 and Reach for the Stars 2.<
